Summary:
Used 1966 Buick Riviera
Location:
Concord, NC
Description:

This 1966 Buick Riviera is a true luxury cruising machine. It's thefirst year of the second generation, and this was a larger/longerstyle that wanted to own the boulevard. And with the big V8 power,a vintage luxurious interior, and a true cruiser feel, this is aterrific hardtop for those who enjoy an easy-driving classic. The Riviera was Buick's exercise in true rolling style. Thesesecond-generation coupes seemed to improve on all the best of the1st gen. That means more size for the hood to get longer, thefender tips to stretch further, and the hardtop profile elongatesfor an even more fastback style. And they made the design look likethese never even had headlights. The headlight panels fit so welltoday that you don't even recognize them in the grille, and for1966, they dropped down with as much fanfare as a Broadway curtain.There are nice details, like the form-hugging chrome bumpers, GSbadging, and Rallye wheels. It's a car that's meant to be driven,so you'll find a few spots of age in the finish and brightworkdetails to prove you have a true classic. But the way the largedoors still have a swift action reminds you that this has seenproper care. The factory-correct black interior has a timeless style against thewhite exterior, and the level of care here makes it quite inviting.The Riviera is all about being a personal luxury machine. So whilethere's plenty of room for the passengers to enjoy, the driver willalways be king. That's why it features an armrest up front forindividual comfort. The upgraded dual-spoke steering wheel, tiltcolumn, and driver-oriented dash give you a command position. Thereare cool vintage details like the power windows, working dashcourtesy lights, and factory air conditioning setup (it will needrestoration to blow cold again.) And that trunk is large enough fora full-size spare and a week's worth of luggage - including golfclubs. Buick knew that effortless performance was the key to the Riviera'ssuccess, so they made sure that there was plenty of power andtorque to move all that sheet metal with ease. The classic andtoque-filled Nailhead V8 looks good, with the bold red blockinstantly standing out in the dark engine bay. And the distinctlypolished air grabbed and finned Buick valve covers give this addedsporty style. This is all about being a confident cruiser, and sothe TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is both stout andsmooth. There's also power steering, power brakes, and moderncruising tires. The mid-1960s were when hardtop personal cruisers made their mark,and the debut of the second-generation Riviera set a new benchmark.So if you love a classic made for driving, don't miss this Buick.Call now!
